  • Muscle spasm
  • Headaches
  • Limited ROM
  • Must be aware to the discomfort it causes patients, however it usually has a benign course + minimal long term sequelae (an aftereffect of an injury)
  • Our job to rule out morbid conditions, e.g. bony fracture from the large majority of cervical strains. Must be able to identify Ps with bone and neurologic pathology such as fractures, dislocations and spinal cord injuries that mimic the condition of a cervical strain
